2000 legacy - needs new brakes

I just picked up a 2000 legacy L (add #2 to the stable!), the only major problem with it so far are the brakes are shot.

I get a noticeable steering wheel shake about 35mph, and when braking, the wheel shakes a LOT, and i get some pedal pulsing..

So I pulled the front rotors, not even sure i should bother getting them checked, they measure about 24mm thick (says 22mm min). The backs are at about 9.5 (8.5mm min). Any thoughts if i should get the backs cut and just replace the fronts?

Anyone have any preference between bendix/raybestos/napa-united? For the price OEM doesn't get me any benefit...

Apparently the car had a "midas job" done last summer, yippee. The pads still look new and aren't grooved or anything, would there be problems with keeping the pads?

Thanks for the help, hopefully I can get this on the road in the next few days.
